Description

The storage compartment that refrigerator is used

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of storage compartment, especially for the door compartment (especially for domestic refrigerator) of chilling unit.Traditionally, a plurality of shelves be installed in such chilling unit the door the inboard on, said shelf is used to hold the upright bottle and the frozen goods of smallclothes.Such door compartment has appreciable impact to the outward appearance of household electrical appliances; The user not only under the situation of built-in household electrical appliances (the wherein surface of the inner surface person of being to use unique household electrical appliances of seeing in daily operation of locker room) can perceive this appreciable impact, and in having the vertical type household electrical appliances of visible outer surface, also can perceive this appreciable impact.The drawer type storage compartment that is disposed in the refrigerating chamber of family expenses chilling unit (for example refrigerator, or refrigerator, or modular refrigeration refrigerator) is also influential to the outward appearance of equipment.

Background technology

When the chilling unit of manufacturer's production different series; Though in multiple series of products, using the member of unified standard as much as possible is economical and practical to keep low production cost, different series product or pattern also should attempt to possess the personal characteristics that the user discerns.In order to reach this purpose, it is feasible producing the member that similar as far as possible device housings and change install (door compartment and the drawer compartments that for example are used for different patterns or series in particular).For example, if door compartment is injection mo(u)lding integratedly substantially, the design that can obtain height although it is so is free, but this method is relatively costly, because the shelf of each independent pattern all needs complicated injection mold.

In the process of seeking economic solution, be susceptible to a kind of modular method, wherein the member of door compartment (for example base plate, antetheca and side panel) is made respectively, and is assembled into a door compartment subsequently.Can produce the member for mount with different size like this, the side panel of wherein same size is made up by the base plate of different length and wall portion and obtains.In order to give different chilling unit models with personal characteristics, can distinctive side panel of this device and unified base plate and wall portion is combined.Make side panel uniformly, and connect one style ground based on one style and change base plate and antetheca (extrusion molding economically of said base plate and antetheca), this method even more economically.Yet in order to change the for example outward appearance of all visible surfaces of door compartment, the antetheca of door compartment and side panel both must be to make multi-formly.This means in whole series of products, do not have standard member to realize economic benefit through large-scale production.

Summary of the invention

Target of the present invention provides a kind of storage compartment, a kind of especially door compartment that is used for chilling unit, and it can fundamentally change its outward appearance through simple and economical method based on uniform platform.

Substance of the present invention relates to a kind of storage compartment (for example drawer container or analog); A kind of door compartment of chilling unit in particular; Said storage compartment comprises base plate, antetheca and side panel, and the tightening member that wherein is used for decoration is can touch (accessible) at the place, inboard of antetheca.Said tightening member has formed attachment point; Be used for the dissimilar decoration of anchoring; It is visible hardly but said attachment point is arranged at the inboard place of wall; Thereby make that door compartment is spendable under the situation of not adding any decoration in the middle of reality, and therefore said door compartment can be installed in the chilling unit of a simplicity of design.

Also include a grip, it is installed in antetheca place (using same material to be molded on the said antetheca in particular), and is used for drawer container is shifted out the refrigerating chamber of chilling unit.Decoration is secured on the handle inboard.

Antetheca is preferably between a plurality of sidewalls and extends, and said sidewall is as the side panel of storage compartment or door compartment.

For fastening said decoration, tightening member compatibly is arranged to be adjacent to the top edge of antetheca.

Decoration preferably is configured to plane form, and occupies a part of zone of antetheca or handle or Zone Full almost.

According to a more excellent embodiment, tightening member is at least one protuberance, for example embolism or analog, and wherein decoration can be pushed to.Especially; Preferably tightening member is the form of horizonal web plate; At first,, make and utilize the less material consumption can reach predetermined rated load secondly because said web is strengthened said antetheca or reinforces because said web allows antetheca to be produced economically as extrusion profile.Said web can extend continuously, perhaps is separated into apart from one another by each section of opening.

Alternatively, tightening member also can be constructed at least one opening or at least one depression in the antetheca.In order to make economically, preferably be configured to horizontally extending groove.It also can be isolated each groove section of difference.If this groove is limited two webs, then can use a spot of material to reach the load limitation that limits in advance.

Decoration can be applied in manufacture process on the antetheca, is connected on the tightening member of said wall through embolism in particular; It is contemplated that also the decoration of this type also can be used as an independent annex of chilling unit and supplies, leave user's decision simultaneously for whether said decoration is installed, perhaps supply the user between the multiple different decorations of different outward appearances, to select.

This decoration preferably is fastened to the inboard of the inboard or handle of antetheca with the mode of form fit and/or interference fit.

Antetheca is preferably transparent, and is fully transparent in particular, so that decoration can be positioned on the inboard of said antetheca, and to see through said antetheca be visible.Because said decoration protect by said antetheca, so its surperficial wearability requires very lowly, and for example just is enough to make antetheca as a metal surface in the thin surface of the main enterprising row metal processing of decoration of being processed by molded plastics.Especially, if antetheca has the outer surface of a gloss, then can produce the impression (even decoration has rough surface in the back) of gloss metal surface.

In order to be anchored on the antetheca, such decoration preferably includes U type section bar, and its embolism is connected on the tightening member.

The top edge flush of the best and said wall of the last limb of U type section bar so that decoration be different from antetheca a member this as far as observer and not obvious.

In order the observer to be deepened the impression that said wall is a body wall, and also in order decoration to be fastened on the said wall, what be fit to is that the plate complete filling of said decoration the wall rear sides between tightening member and base plate.

In addition, for fastening decoration, the inscribe portion that is bonded on wherein by plate can be injection-moulded on the tightening member.

Through inserting chock in transparent, the best as transparent fully side panel of frozen goods carriage, also there is the possibility that changes its outward appearance like a dream.If chock is used with the decoration that is installed on the antetheca together, the outward appearance of the frozen goods carriage in fact whole visual appearance under mounting condition all can change.Because chock is protected by the inside of side panel, the same just like the decoration of antetheca, the surface of said chock need not to be subject to the requirement of any high-wearing feature.

Equally from design point of view, it also is suitable on decoration and chock, using similar surface smoothness.

Preferably each side panel has an opening at the rear side in the face of door, can side panel introduced or possibly replace through said opening.

Under this situation, the user also can have between different chocks, select as annex maybe, and the outward appearance of those pleasant is installed out.

Because to the transparency that relates to antetheca and side panel and the requirement of surface quality is identical, the side panel of frozen goods carriage, antetheca and substrate are fit to become injection moulding integrally.

Notion of the present invention is supported alternative variation pattern, and its decoration is clamped on the outside of antetheca, and is partly or entirely covered.If extend at the back backward-facing of side panel front side in the outside of said wall, the wall thickness of decoration can be selected as and make the front side flush of outer surface and side panel of decoration.

If the outward appearance of side panel also will be revised, in this variation pattern, be suitable for this purpose places Decorative shell on the side panel.

Under this situation, the wall thickness of this decoration preferably is sized to and makes the wall flush that is covered with the side panel front side of outer surface and Decorative shell of decoration.

The specific embodiment

Fig. 1 has shown the decomposition diagram according to the door compartment of the first embodiment of the present invention.The matrix 1 of said door compartment is the box-like form of elongated and upward opening substantially; Antetheca 3 and rear wall 4 that said matrix 1 has base plate 2 and extends along vertical side of said base plate 2; Wherein in present description; " preceding " expression is away from the direction (not showing that in Fig. 1 these those skilled in the art are familiar with said installation method) of the refrigerator doors that door compartment is installed on it, and " back " expression is towards the direction of refrigerator doors.Under installment state, said rear wall 4 abuts against the inner surface of refrigerator doors, perhaps also might separate one section narrow slit with it.Therefore, said rear wall just is used for reinforcing or stabilized matrix 1 is positioned at frozen goods in the door compartment with fastening, rather than 3 is used as fence as the antetheca.

Base plate 2 and said

wall

3,4 extend between two side panels 5.Each said side panel 5 comprises front section 6, and is as shown in Figure 5 especially, empty cubic form in said front section is actually, the opening 7 that its opening can be removed towards mould backward; Perhaps more accurately, front section 6 is the prismatic form of butt, and said prism has inwall 8 and outer wall 9, both towards ground, the place ahead towards be each other slightly taper and through preceding flank 10, go up flank 11 and be connected with following flank 12 (see figure 4)s.The convergence of said inwall 8 and outer wall 9 makes and when using plastic injection-moulded method to come whole formula ground to make matrix 1, is easy to remove mould through opening 7.

Back section 13 is formed by the extensions of inwall 8 separately, and is bonded between two vertical pillars, and said pillar is located in door (not have to show) inboard, extend on the either side in inner surface.Said back section is reinforced by outstanding rib.Limiting rib of the back section 13 of two side panels 5 to the recess of under shed 14, and be configured such that above the supporting projections that is plugged on the flank that faces plumb post each other, so that door compartment is supported on the said pillar.

Shown in the cutaway view of Fig. 3, web 15 is formed at the inboard of antetheca 3, and horizontal parallel is extended in the top edge ground of said antetheca 3 between side panel 5.Said web 15 at first is used to reinforce antetheca 3, secondly can anchoring decoration 16, and it is the extrusion profile of being processed by metal or plastics that said decoration is configured to.In fact decoration 16 comprises flat part 17; Said plate begins filling the bottom side of the inboard of said wall 3 up to web 15 from base plate 2; And comprising U type section bar 18, said U type section bar is overmolded to the upper edge of plate 17, and web 15 with the form grasping of clamping.Last flank 11 flush of the outside of the last limb 19 of U type section bar 16 and the side panel 5 of vicinity.The top edge of antetheca 3 is directly not high with last flank 11 the same ground; If matrix 1 not only combines with decoration 16, also want and the decoration through other type of describing with reference to figure 6 combines, then this measure is useful especially.Yet, in height be a concordant transition in order to create with side panel 5, the last limb 19 of U type section bar 18 extends beyond the top edge of antetheca 3.

The following limb of the U type section bar 18 that is connected with plate 17 is bonded in the inscribe portion 20 of under shed at the place, bottom side of web 15, so that realize the form fit locking of decoration 16 at antetheca 3 places.

Matrix 1 is processed by complete transparent plastic material, for example polystyrene or polymethyl methacrylate, so that the confined state that in Fig. 2, shows, it is visible that decoration 16 sees through antetheca 3.

Decoration 16 can be processed by coloured plastics material, simple and economical extrusion profile; If the outside of matrix 1 is glossiness, just can obtain the impression of chromatic colour glossy surface, even said decoration 16 directly obtained a rough surface through extrusion molding, and said surface is not further processed.If decoration 16 is processed by metal (particularly aluminium) or decoration 16 only metallizes on the top layer, then antetheca 3 also can obtain a gloss metal surface by suggestion.If the danger of metallization surface peeling by antetheca 3 protections, does not just take place in the surface of said decoration 16 in the process of using door compartment.

The preceding flank 10 of side panel 5 projection slightly shows like Fig. 5 above the outer surface of antetheca 3.This measure is useful, possibly combine with alternative decoration (it will be explained hereinafter) mainly due to matrix 1.

Chock 21 is configured such that can be from behind, in the removable opening 7 of mould is inserted in the empty side panel 5.If door compartment is installed in the refrigerator doors, chock 21 is undertaken fastening in side panel 5 by the plumb post of refrigerator doors, and said plumb post is sealing the removable opening 7 of mould.Chock 21 seen as the same material that can see through as matrix 1 complete transparent of decoration 16, so said chock 21 is to decide the outward appearance of frozen goods carriage with decoration 16 similar modes.Chock 21 is the ducted body processed of plastics preferably, and it comprises and decoration 16 identical materials, perhaps is provided with the coating with decoration 16 same-types.Through including decoration 16 and chock 21, can be converted into a white fully frozen goods carriage that perhaps has metallic luster fully by matrix 1 formed transparent door compartment fully separately.

Fig. 6 has shown the perspective view of second embodiment of frozen goods carriage.Matrix 1 is identical with the description that relates to Fig. 1 to Fig. 5 with chock 21, and can here not be described again.Decoration 22 is implemented as the parts of extruding of aluminum, and cross section is similar to mirror writing letter L or J.As shown in Figure 7, the plate 23 of decoration 22 be arranged for reclining antetheca 3 and cover its upper area from the outside.Be overmolded on the plate 23 and the top edge of the web 24 extend through antethecas 3 that bend at the free edge place and the inward flange of web 15, so that it is the top end of web 15 in flat slot 25 clampings of web 24, as shown in Figure 8.For decoration 22 is installed; Said decoration at first is placed in the top end that is engaging web 15 according to the orientation shown in the dotted outline of Fig. 8; Reversible strain is also born in shadow outline position shown in being switched to then, and wherein said decoration is maintained with the form of form fit in said position then.

The size of the wall thickness of decoration 22 and matrix 1 is complementary, so that like the latched position of Fig. 7 the time, the abut outer surfaces of decoration 22 becomes last flank 11 and preceding flank 10 flush with side panel 5.

Chock 21 also can be removed in this embodiment.If exist, the outward appearance of the outward appearance on the surface of said chock and decoration 22 is seriously different, in any case because the glossy surface of side panel 5 also can't reach same outward appearance with the surface of decoration 22.This means that if for example decoration 22 is metal extrusion profiles, chock 21 can be that white plastic is processed especially.

Fig. 9 and Figure 10 have shown according to the exploded view of the door compartment of third embodiment of the invention and installation diagram have two attainable characteristics of independence different with Fig. 6 to Fig. 8 content displayed respectively here.

First characteristic is the form that is placed on the decoration 22 on its front side, and the plate 23 of said decoration 22 is covered with the antetheca 3 of matrix 1 fully.The groove 25 that the web 15 of antetheca 3 in clamping here saves, and supplies decoration 22 to carry out the function that form fit keeps to be born by narrow web 26, and said web is clamped in base plate 2 belows of the matrix that begins from plate 23 lower limbs.Said cross-sectional form also allows decoration 22 to be locked together in ordinatedly on the matrix 1 by form.

Second different character is to use the housing 27 that is placed on the side panel 5 from the top to replace chocks 21, and said housing can not have difficulty ground with combined like Fig. 6 and decoration 22 shown in Figure 8.Especially, clearly illustrate that like the cross section of Figure 12 each housing 27 has an outer wall 28, the inside slight bending of the lower limb of said outer wall is so that lock onto side panel 5 with housing 27.The inwall 29 of housing 27 is covered with the inwall 8 of side panel downwards until base plate 2.The antetheca 3 of matrix 1 extends through a slit 30, and said slit is between the inwall 29 and antetheca 31 of housing 27.Because antetheca 31 is carried on the preceding flank 10 of side panel 5; The wall thickness of plate 23 is compared with the structure of Fig. 5 to Fig. 7 to some extent to be increased; Shown in the route of ala lateralis 10 shown in dotted lines in Figure 11 so that realize between the outer surface of decoration 22 and antetheca 31 concordant excessively.

Because decoration 22 is processed by same metal with housing 27, what the user obtained is the impression (except base plate 2 and rear wall 4 might not be) of bulk metal door compartment.

Similar with Fig. 9, Figure 13 has shown the 4th embodiment of door inserts, and is wherein identical among the embodiment of matrix 1 and previous description.Decoration 22 (its antetheca 3 along matrix 1 extends) has been omitted in Figure 13, because said decoration can be identical with the decoration of Fig. 6 or Fig. 9.Housing 32 is configured such that along depth direction and is pulled on the side panel 5; For this purpose; Said housing have outer wall 28, antetheca 31 and with said

wall

28,31 all-in-one-piece upper walls 33 and lower wall 34; And from the narrow web 35 of said

wall

31,33,34 bendings, said web inwall 8 places at side panel 5 under the state that is pushed into engage.

Figure 14 has shown according to fifth embodiment of the invention, passed the cross section of antetheca 3, and is similar with Fig. 8.Decoration 16 has a flexible plate of elasticity at this, and wherein rib 36 is obliquely in the upper edge projection of said plate.Said rib 36 is accommodated in the groove 37 of said wall 3 upper edge.Simultaneously, the sharp lower edge of decoration 16 projects in the groove 38 at foot place of antetheca 3.Through the mode of such double engagement, decoration 16 is anchored on the matrix 1 with the mode of form fit.

In the embodiment of Figure 15, be formed with two

webs

15 and 38 in the upper edge of said wall 3, clamping has the rib 36 of decoration 16 between it.Rib 36 also is the part of U type section bar 18, and web 15 in its clamping, as the embodiment of Fig. 3.

Figure 16 has shown an embodiment, wherein from the inboard of said wall 3 and the outside the two palp be the tightening member that shows as opening 39 forms wall 3, the line that the top edge of its edge and said wall 3 parallels distributes and perpendicular to cutting plane.Decoration 16 includes plate 17, and said plate will be positioned over said wall 3 inboards, and comprises two webs 40,41, and said web interconnects and be connected to the plate 17 with thin slice articulated section 42 and 43.Web 43 carries a plurality of protuberances 44 that are arranged in a row.When decoration 16 was installed, plate 17 at first was placed with against the inboard of said wall 3.Each slit 45 in the plate 17 is positioned at the front side of opening 39 separately at this moment.Bending is carried out in thin slice articulated section 42 and 43, so as the upper area in the top edge that web 40 and 41 is positioned at said wall 3 and its outside around.The protuberance 44 of web 41 gets into the opening 39 of said wall 3, and is locked in the slit 45 of plate 17.
